Abstract: Abstract:Fixed orthodontic technology is one of the main methods to treat malocclusion. However, the orthodontic appliances may affect the microecological environment of the oral cavity, which may lead to diseases such as enamel demineralization and gingivitis. The application of antibacterial materials in the preparation of fixed orthodontic appliances, such as orthodontic adhesives, arch wires brackets, etc., can provide a new method for preventing these diseases. This paper reviews the application research progress of organic antibacterial agents, inorganic antibacterial agents and other antibacterial materials in fixed orthodontic treatment.
